The APA alternates giving an award to the best article and book published by a younger scholar in the previous two years. The Book and Article Prizes replace the former Matchette Foundation Book Prize.

Award

The winner of the award will receive $2,000 and be presented with the prize at the annual prize reception at the APA Eastern Division meeting.

Frequency: Every other year in even years

Next Award: 2020

Next Deadline: March 15, 2020

Eligibility

Nominations are opened every other spring in even years for the Article Prize for that year. Articles published in the prior two years are eligible. Thus, for 2020, the prize will be awarded to an article published in 2018 or 2019. (Eligibility is governed by the volume year of the journal, regardless of the date on which the issue containing the nominated article actually appeared in print.)

To be considered for the Article Prize, a work must be nominated by two APA members other than the author. The author must be a "younger scholar," meaning that the author (a) was 40 years of age or younger in the year of the volume in which the article appears, or (b) received his or her Ph.D. 10 or fewer years before the year in which the article was published. The author must be a member of the APA.

Nominations

A member may nominate only one article. Nominations should identify the author, article title, journal name, and publication year. The APA will contact nominated authors for assurances of eligibility and to secure copies of the nominated articles.

Only members may submit nominations; please sign in to access the nomination form.
